# rs-fw-update Tool ## Goal `rs-fw-update` tool is a console application for updating the depth cameras firmware. ## Prerequisites In order to update a depth camera firmware, a signed image file is required. The latest firmware for D400 cameras is available [here.](https://downloadcenter.intel.com/download/28870/Latest-Firmware-for-Intel-RealSense-D400-Product-Family?product=128255) The firmware is packed into zip file and contains a file with "bin" extension with the following naming convension: "Signed_Image_UVC_.bin" ## Usage After installing `librealsense` run ` rs-fw-update -l` to launch the tool and print a list of connected devices. An example for output for a D415 camera is: ``` connected devices: 1) Name: Intel RealSense D415, serial number: 725112060411, ASIC serial number: 012345678901, firmware version: 05.11.01.100, USB type: 3.2 ``` Then we will provid the serial number to identify the device together with the path to firmware file that we want to update ` rs-fw-update -s 725112060411 -f Signed_Image_UVC_5_11_6_250.bin`. An example for the expected output is: ``` search for device with serial number: 725112060411 update to FW: Signed_Image_UVC_5_11_6_250.bin updating device: Name: Intel RealSense D415, serial number: 725112060411, ASIC serial number: 012345678901, firmware version: 05.11.01.100, USB type: 3.2 firmware update started firmware update progress: 100[%] firmware update done device 725112060411 successfully updated to FW: 05.11.06.250 ``` In case only one camera is connected you can simply run ` rs-fw-update -f Signed_Image_UVC_5_11_6_250.bin`. A camera/s might be in a recovery state, in such case listing the devices will output the following: ``` connected devices: 1) Name: Intel RealSense D4xx Recovery, serial number: unknown, ASIC serial number: 012345678901, firmware version: unknown, USB type: unknown ``` In such case we can use the recovery flag and run ` rs-fw-update -r -f Signed_Image_UVC_5_11_6_250.bin` An example for the expected output is: ``` update to FW: Signed_Image_UVC_5_11_6_250.bin recovering device: Name: Intel RealSense D4xx Recovery, serial number: unknown, ASIC serial number: 012345678901, firmware version: unknown, USB type: unknown firmware update started firmware update progress: 100[%] firmware update done recovery done ``` ## Command Line Parameters |Flag |Description | |---|---| |`-s`| The serial number of the device to be update, this is mandetory if more than one device is connected| |`-f`|Path of the firmware image file| |`-r`|Recover all connected devices which are in recovery mode| |`-l`|List all available devices and exits| |`-v`|Displays version information and exits| |`-h`|Displays usage information and exits| | None| List supported streaming modes| ## Limitation * Do not run additional applications that use the RealSense camera, such as Viewer, together with the rs-fw-update tool
